  1. Would you call in sick?

    EDNURSE20 replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well I disagree. You took this job knowing about your commute. You must of known about the lack of time between shifts. You've created this mess, now you have to deal with it. If I was your employer...

  2. What do I need for nursing school?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Futaba90's topic in General Students

    Personally I don't think you need much. Lots of people get overwhelmed and just buy everything. I remember buying all the required text books and then never using them. As long as you've got pen and...

  3. New Grad with Some Job Choices

    EDNURSE20 replied to Frekledan's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Again hospital B would be my choice. That is if you want full time. Enjoy having time off and the holiday season without having to worry about your work

  5. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    EDNURSE20 replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's rediculous. That fact that you've been there longer doesn't give you entitlement to get all the leave. It needs to be spread around. And if "people don't get back in time" like you...

  6. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    EDNURSE20 replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't push it. You might not get the leave you want this year, but will most probably be working in a much nicer environment with staff that like you. I guess it's whats more important to you?...

  7. First job as a new grad nurse in a staffing agency

    EDNURSE20 replied to 2ndchance85's topic in General Nursing

    I get it's different. I moved to a new town for this job so everything was completely different to where I had studied. I got two months of orientation. Which I thought was fine. I've work in areas...

  8. First job as a new grad nurse in a staffing agency

    EDNURSE20 replied to 2ndchance85's topic in General Nursing

    Well I have to disagree. I graduated last December and started working in jan in my hospitals float pool. Slightly different because I wasn't working in different hospitals. But I am working all over...

  9. NZ state exam

    EDNURSE20 replied to shielo's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    That's book is no longer available. You won't be able to find it anywhere. And honestly you don't need it. I know state final is this big thing, but actually it's not that bad. You'll be fine. Also...

  10. PEDS/OB- not passing

    EDNURSE20 replied to amynursing's topic in General Students

    Instead of reaching out on here, reach out to your school. Sit down with your lecturer. Go over you last exam. See if it's possible to still pass and what you need to do. Get the school to help you....

  11. Tips for new grads

    EDNURSE20 replied to cassandraspangle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm just finishing up my first year of practise. This is what I've learnt. 1. You will make mistakes. Report them appropriately and learn from them. Don't hide them or think or a bad nurse or think...

  12. Are you a "Sister?"

    EDNURSE20 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny you posted this, because I've been thinking about it lately. I'm from New Zealand and every nurse is called sister. Everywhere hospital/department I've ever been in nurses call each other...

  13. Rehab nursing - Yes or No?

    EDNURSE20 replied to mymunnich's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is said a lot in nursing/school. But in reality plenty of nurses have gone from Ltc/rehab to inpt hospital nursing. If your happy to work in ltc then go for it. Any experience is better than no...

    EDNURSE20 replied to brockclan3's topic in General Nursing

  16. New RN Grad Need Guidance Please :()

    EDNURSE20 replied to NewICUNurse93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    no. Never task focus. It's always person centred care where ever you work. You have to see the pt as a whole and not just focus on your tasks. Also med surg isn't that bad. Also people are trying to...

  17. New RN Grad Need Guidance Please :()

    EDNURSE20 replied to NewICUNurse93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Right so first you are being way to defensive. When I first started as a nurse I got some bad feedback. Mainly about not being a team player and my documentation. It was heart breaking. I totally...

  18. advance surgical nurse roles

    EDNURSE20 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I've been working in my hospital float pool for about a year now. When i finished my bsn I knew I like surgical nursing, and working as a RN now has just confirmed it's the place for me. In my...

  19. Gave medications too early is this an error?

    EDNURSE20 replied to daniela095's topic in Patient Medications

    It's def a med error and a incident report needs to be done. And you manager informed. Giving a med 6 hours early is way to early to not worry about it. It was a mistake, and you shouldn't worry about...

  20. Loud Cartoons for Elderly Patients

    EDNURSE20 replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if it's because ive just finished the mist manic shift ever and now can't sleep, but this whole thread is hilarious. Reading the OP I just lost it. You are so invested in the stupidest...

  21. It's all good except for...

    EDNURSE20 replied to Estateboy's topic in General Nursing

    I had this happen to me too. Remain professional. Do you job well. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Stay out of her way, but also don't let her stop you doing your job. You will have to work with her,...

  22. Iv antibiotic running as primary?

    EDNURSE20 replied to SquatsNScrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I've only ever heard of giving ivabs as a primary. I've never seen them been piggyback. I wouldn't say anything as it's normal practise. If you really want to you will need to do a lot of research to...

  23. Nursing school at 38?

    EDNURSE20 replied to Elle7745's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a student on my floor who looks like he should retire. Well into his 60s, and it shows. He's not very good. But 37 is not to old at all. In my class there was a lot in that age group or...

    EDNURSE20 replied to daniela095's topic in General Nursing

    EDNURSE20 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They don't sell cheetos in my country. But I got to try them when I was in Australia a couple of months ago. Seriously tasted like dried cat biscuits. Don't know how any one eats them. ended throwing...
